Some notes :

Fritz won't play, otherwise I would not be able to run the event automatically.
Junior is out too, installing it on a new comp is too much trouble.

I have only the single processor version of Hiarcs.

I wonder why no one makes any "Bottom 12" event.. I would love to see something like that.

A bottom 12 would be rather painful because those bottom engines are very buggy... I do run them in my Promo tourney : over 230 engines will play in the next edition.

Leo has a "Mr. Irrelevant" division in his WBEC tournament.

You can see the results from the last one here -- it's the second bracket.
